C21 (2/2)

I stroked Lingling's head, forcing out a smile and said.

”Big sister, I'm really useless. I said that I would take care of you, but now …”

Lingling said as she forcefully held back her sobs, wanting to put on a strong front.

It was the first time in my life I had heard someone say something so warm to me.

This is also the first time that I truly want to protect someone …

For this desire to protect, no matter how big the storm in front of me, I will still smile and face it...

At this moment, as I watched the black cat swagger away, the fear in my heart gradually receded. I slowly calmed down.

I closed my eyes and thought about everything that had happened in the past few days.

The Ghost Being I saw just now, is that Aunt Zhang? Her face was too rotten to be seen.

The Ghost Being seemed to want to enter the house, but was unable to. What was attracting her in this house?

Also, why can't I come in? What was stopping her?

I knew then that I couldn't go and pray for the end.

Everything is just beginning. If I keep praying, not to mention protecting Lingling, I won't even be able to protect myself.

The death of my adoptive father, Da Xiong's death, and even Da Xiong's mother's death, up until now, everything that happened that I saw that seemed to have some sort of connection.

It was not an accident.

This was not the end …

These words were like a magic spell, representing the death of a person.

Liu Songxian, adopted father, just what kind of agreement did these two make?

What would happen in the future? How can I face it?

Although he had already made up his mind to face everything bravely.

However, he had no idea what he was about to face. He didn't even know what he was about to face …

Now, I can only take things one step at a time. After learning from my foster father for so many years, I have still learned a lot.

Moreover, the scope of the Funerary Lady is rather wide, and I have learned a lot.

Even if I don't have the ability to protect my life, I believe that I will be able to use my knowledge to slowly approach the truth …

The reason why I was so muddle-headed and at a loss these two days was because deep down in my subconscious, I was unwilling to believe that there really was a Ghost Being causing trouble.

The main reason for this is my cowardice. I am just waiting for things to go according to plan, but I don't have the courage to take a step forward.

Now that I have someone I want to protect, I have to work hard.

Although I don't know how serious this matter is, several people have already died.

I don't know if Second Uncle Li who was kicked to death by a beast should be counted in this matter, or if Uncle Zhang, who died many years ago, should be counted in this matter?

If these people were included, then the scope of this matter … This was a bit too much …

For example, in these few days, including his adoptive father, three people died in just three days, their deaths appearing to be extremely strange.

His foster father's body had also been killed.

At first I tried to explain it all, but now it seems... It really was the doing of a malicious spirit …

Was the adoptive father a suicide? I still don't know.

But even if he did not commit suicide, he must have realized something before he died, and even discussed things with Liu Songxian before that.

As I thought, I saw that Lingling had already drifted off to sleep again, and I also slowly fell asleep.

In my dream, I felt as if I had come to an unknown place, but if you looked closely, you would see that this was a village.

It was just that the village in his dream had no houses. There were only graves, no tombstones, and no way of knowing whose grave the owner was.

And in the middle of the tombs, a figure stood there …
